Crochet Wall Hanging - Free Pattern
I am more than happy to share the free pattern for this crochet wall hanging here on the blog!
Read below about the inspiration , the yarn I used or scroll down for the free pattern.
This wall hanging was inspired by the modern tapestry weaving wall hangings I see around the web!
I really love how thicker yarn blends in with the bobble stitches to create this woven look!
I basically made the pattern up as I went along and I really love how versatile the outcome can become!
You can follow my pattern or you can use it as a base to make up your own design. It’s a bit of freeform crochet, I guess, and it’s really fun.
